Another fill



Recommended Posts

Well hello everybody , I trust you are all well and preparations are going good for the Christmas festivities.

On Friday i went in for my second fill. Another 1 cc , with the previous 2 cc in my @ 10 cc band.

All went well this time and i made sure i was comfortablly able to swallow this time before i left the clinic.

Now i am begining to feel the benefit of the band, i actually feel full ,Well sort off .It,s not the old feeling full ,sick ,cant fit anything else in feeling in my stomach.

This is a feeling of fullness in my throat type sensation.So i guess i just have to train that sensation to my brain to say that,s enough .

Any way , Best Wishes to you all Mark.:eek:

Hi Mark,

Just curious, did you loose any weight? I have 5cc in my 10cc band and due for a fill on the 9th of Jan. I can definitely eat too much in the evening!

Cheers Rose:)

I'm glad to hear you're feeling satisfied with the 3 cc. I have a 10cc band too and I go for my first fill on 12/29. Dr says he fills 3cc the first time and waits to see how I do before he does anymore fills. Hopefully I'll feel as good as you. Happy holidays

I went for my 2nd fill yesterday. I had no restriction whatsoever and was starting to gain. Anyway, he unfilled me (I guess he always does that before a new fill) and I only had .5cc in my 4 cc band. He said he put over .75 in at the last fill and is not sure what happened to the rest???????

He put 1.5 in yesterday and honestly I don't feel a bit different. Some people say it takes a few days to feel a fill? I can't imagine why that is.

Hi friends, Merry Christmas and a Happy New year.

Well here i am nearly 2 weeks later and i can say i have no change in the way i feel full after eating ,i,m still the same old pigger me.

Except now i really have to chew and be careful because anything bigger than a multi Vitamin will block my stomac, i know this because if i dont drink first and " lube up " the multi will become very uncomfortable and just sit there for ever.

Mark:)

Talk to you all in the New Year.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
